Solaris 44

The Solaris 44 is a 13-metre day-boat built by Solaris, and it gives anyone looking for a Solaris 44 charter in Europe a smaller, more personal vessel than the superyachts that dominate the continent's charter listings. At this scale, the yacht suits clients who want a private boat for their own party rather than a large floating venue.

With a listed capacity of eight guests, the Solaris 44 could interest a family of five with a few relatives or close friends, or a group of four couples travelling together. Anyone planning to rent the Solaris 44 for a gathering of that size will find the figure a useful starting point for deciding who joins the day. Eight is a sociable number without being a crowd, which can suit hosts who prefer a close-knit group.

Two cabins are confirmed on board, a detail worth noting for groups thinking about how a party of up to eight might divide between spaces. Together with its day-boat classification, this places the yacht among Europe's more compact options, for clients who would rather hire a boat sized to their group than book a larger vessel than they need.
